    Default Setting up my raspberry pi3

    Having a few issues which are hopefully easily resolved.
    Have downloaded image writer and set up software on sd card.
    Installed sd card and then tried to link to Volumio/ local which I don’t seem to be able to connect to. Was using chrome as browser ,tried firefox and others all get same response.
    So picked up iPad and got app thinking that may help.
    When I open app it aks for IP address which I have provided but then asks for port .The unit has 4 usb connectors so have they port numbers?

    Sorry this is possibly a simple issue but to a technophobe it’s not .

    Guidance would be appreciated.

    Have you connected your Pi to your router?

    No is the simple answer

    That's why your Pi can't be found.
    Connect a patch lead between the Pi and router, and then try typing in the address.

    Just to clarify I attach the raspberry pi3 to the router I assume that using my iPad I can connect wirelessly to do the rest? Sorry but I like to be clear,

    Thanks

    I have but router is located in a cupboard but I could still connect. It’s just a pain that’s all. But 5he laptop would be wireless as well, just trying to understand why a laptop?

    It doesn't matter that the laptop is connected wirelessly - you need to hook the Pi up to the router in order for it to get seen on the address you need to type in.
    This should then hook up to to your Pi and its set up menu.
